Failure moon shots

September 18, 2024September 18, 2025 ~ MaryG ~ 11 Comments

I continue to try to take photos of the moon with my iPhone 15 and it never works well.

I could clearly see the partial lunar eclipse with my eyes last night, but the photos don’t show it. (Well, maybe a tiny bit in the second one, but you have to zoom in.)

I’m always impressed with the great moon shots that Kevin at The Beginning at Last is able to get with his phone.
